Add/Repair ARCHICAD

If you already have ARCHICAD installed, and start the Installation Wizard, you are given two options:

1.Add will add new features to your current installation. You will see all available features in a list and you can check features to be added to your current installation.

2.Repair will reinstall ARCHICAD with the features of your current installation. You can choose to save your customized settings/files in a backup folder. If you select this option, a “backup” folder will be created in your ARCHICAD 22 folder. The name of the backup folder will contain the ARCHICAD version and the date of creation. The backup folder will include:

your Add-on settings;

your ARCHICAD 22 Library;

your Work Environment schemes.

After the repair process is complete, you can either delete these files or reuse them by copying them back into your repaired ARCHICAD environment (follow the steps below). You can then continue to use these settings and files.

1.Copy your Add-On settings back to the respective sub-folders of your ‘ARCHICAD 22/Add-Ons’ folder;

2.Replace the library in the ‘ARCHICAD 22/ARCHICAD Library 22’ folder;

3.Replace your ‘Defaults’ folder in the ‘ARCHICAD 22’ folder (thereby including your current Work Environment, Translator and Template data).

Project files you saved into the ARCHICAD 22 folder will not be deleted or overwritten by the repair process.

Note: The Repair process will revert your ARCHICAD version to its default settings. After Repair, you must reinstall the latest ARCHICAD and Library updates.
